Assignment 2:The Holocaust!!!

The Holocaust was one of the worst persecutions and murders of the world history in my opinion.The holocaust was led by a man named Adolf Hitler.Adolf Hitler was a really smart man I mean the way he planned everything and how he did it took some work not any kind of leader or man could do that.Adolf Hitler might have been smart but he was crazy.

He used his knowledge for the wrong reasons.

One of the reasons that Hitler started this massacre was to kill all the Jews because he did not like them at all.Even though Adolf didn't kill the people it was the worst thing that could ever happened in the world century's. Adolf send groups of people called Nazis to do all the dirty work.A lot of innocent adults and children's where murdered for no reason.Sometimes they would throw babies in the hair and shoot them, they where targets for the Nazis.Other stuff they would do was shoot people,burn them alive, and even just have them with out food or anything.They would also use a symbol called the "Swastika" to represent them.
